LB7: Lb7 turbo leaking coolant
- Thread starter Justalb7
- Start date
If wp is original, I'd say just it's time. If newer wp maybe corrosion from neglected coolant/electrical short. If running poorly maybe blown head gasket causing excessive pressure and forcing coolant out anywhere it can.
Now, coolant out exhaust, are you sure it's from the turbo? Does your truck have egr? Possibly egr cooler. Blown head gasket can cause coolant out exhaust too.
Whats the history of this truck? Mileage? Modified? New to you? Used for heavy towing?

Moved into LB7 section of Hard Parts.
Please, in the future, dont post the same question in multiple areas.
You have multiple problems going on. If the waterpump is leaking, address that separately.
For the coolant out the tailpipe, I would be checking for blown headgaskets first.

If you know the turbo is leaking and the wp, then change them.... stuff wears out and eventually needs to be replaced.
How did you check the head gaskets?
Is the top radiator hose hard after cold soaking all night? If so, then you have a head gasket problem.
